Projects

At Hollister Michaels, we’re more than just a custom homebuilder; we’re creators of personal spaces. To truly bring a client’s vision to life, it takes a serious eye for detail. You won’t find this characteristic in just any builder. It’s something that is cultivated over time like it has been for owner and masterbuilder, Mike Usalavage.

Mike’s careful attention to detail has been passed down from generation to generation. Being a fourth generation homebuilder, he’s honed his craft not only after 25+ years of his own experience, but has borrowed from the experiences of those in his family who have handcrafted beautiful homes before him.

We’ve built many homes over the years ranging in size. From charming cabins in the woods to majestic Old World masterpieces, we’ve designed and built many different styles of architecture. Along with conventional stick-framed homes, we’ve handcrafted log homes and timberframe projects high in the Rocky Mountains. We haven’t necessarily done it all…but we’ve certainly done a lot of it.

The construction process can be overwhelming at times. That’s the nature of the business. But what makes Hollister Michaels different is that Mike is there as your point person, considering your needs at every turn. Combine this kind of attention and accountability with our experience handpicking finishes and directing our expert team on every project, and you’ll quickly realize that we’re building homes worthy of the lives unfolding within them.

So when you’re ready to build your home from the ground up, we can bring to life every dream down to the last detail. With Mike at the helm of every design/build decision, you can rest assured that what you envision is exactly what the Hollister Michaels team will deliver.
